There are a couple of good reasons why the "trails" at Badlands need to be pre-ran. Dirk, Ranger, and Randy touched on them, but for more detail:0313 said:Why would you need to pre run that place?

During Winterfest (in the late winter/early spring) the White trail starts out running through mud with a few holes with water/mud mix. You wind back through the woods and eventually drop into a "holler" (as us hicks call 'em) that has some tight turns and some off camber stuff. You drive up out of the "holler" and get back into mud and some water holes and cross over to the creek. You drop over a steep hill, cross the creek and climb another steep hill that can be a bit tricky if you don't have MT's. You drop back into the creek and run it until you get to the tubes. Those that are daring enough can go through them, but it's a big gamble as to how deep the hole (water) is at the other end. Most cross over the top and back down to the creek. This run of the creek can be fun because some have been known to speed through it. Again, it can be a gamble if you do not have your ignition waterproofed well. You eventually climb a steep hill out of the creek. White ends by running the sand dunes back.IndyXJ said:What is the so called White trail like? I haven't been to the Badlands in like 3 years and probably ran it maybe, but forget. Ran green mostly and the old orange a few times. Hoping to make this one maybe...
You need to wheel other places more often.......LBEXJ said:During Winterfest (in the late winter/early spring) the White trail starts out running through mud with a few holes with water/mud mix.

Sorry about the windy synopsis ... White is a considered a moderate trail. HTH ...

Hell ... Badlands is only 35-40 minutes away. Actually, I've only been there 4 -5 times this year.Okie Terry said:You need to wheel other places more often.......
